NO NONSENSE WOOD WORKING! Giving me exactly what I want without all the click bait BS. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE HATERS! and keep doing what you're doing.
"sit in random places in your shop staring at your drawing" this resonated with me so much
Same 😂🫡
Love the humor you provide in your videos. I can tell you love what you do!
I like the humor. There are plenty of channels and lots of dry information. I enjoy someone with skills to share who also has the talent to be entertaining. Please keep doing what you’re doing.
I'm a 63 year old female who just discovered a love of power tools a couple of years ago. I'm hoping to design my kitchen and build my own cabinets in my first ever home. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm pretty sure I will be successful if I follow your instructions.
Don't let the haters get you down, you are doing a great job explaining the process and keeping it entertaining. 10K subs in two months is very enviable and proves your time is well spent.
Comments like these make this fun 👍🏻
less cutesy would be great. you r trying to copy the bourbon moth guy. I jump past every attempt at humor etc.
when pocket hole jigs / machines became readily available for the homework shop. That was a joinery game changer and time saver for me. Before I purchased my pocket hole machines and jigs. I'd built my face frames with dowel, mortis and ternion, tongue and groove and ship lap joinery. But now for my face frames, its simply pocket hole joinery, screws and a few pin nails. Super simple, super-fast and very strong for face frames. Great video.
Have had the Kreg products ever since they came out with the first all metal jig. Great company...
Do you notice the pieces shift ever so slightly when using pocket hole joinery? It happens with me on site when wainscoting frames so I've been looking at pocket hole cutters which cut a lower angle pocket using a router so the pieces don't shift. I watched a video where a guy built his own and it's a professional hole cutting machine but he doesn't have plans for it
@@a-carpenter9229 I don't have that happen to me. I always use a Kreg clamp made for this kind of joinery. When using glue (this is where the pieces might slide) I will pre-assemble the joint and that gives me the holes just like if you had drilled a pilot hole for a regular screw.I got this from a video that I saw from Kreg many years ago. I have one of the original pocket hole jigs made from aluminum with steel drill guides and I still use it a lot.
@@a-carpenter9229 yeah, I noticed that shift on my machine but as long as it doesn't affect the depth of cut, I see no concern with it.
Great content, I'm very much a beginner and interested in learning how to build cabinets, your explanations are beginner friendly, clear, and concise. Thanks!
Firstly ,I love your work shop. Everything is where it's supposed to be. 👍good job I know professional work when I see it.
Thanks man I appreciate it 🤙🏼
Im in the Bahamas and Im building my first set of cabinets and i must say that your instructionnon how to build a cabinet is so accurate and precise.. Thanks you. when im done i will send you a photo
1) your audio levels are so good for such a new channel 2) you sound super natural in the voice over 3) you do a good job of mixing in interesting shots.
How are you so good at this already? Your channel is blowing up dude. Good job!
Wow lots of super good feedback! Thanks for all the positivity 👍🏻
Found your channel by accident but am enjoying the videos. I am doing my kitchen in the spring and will attempt cabinets on my own so these videos will be my guide. I will be watching all your videos to help me out .
Go East Carolina Woodworks! I live on EC also. Good to see a quality representative from our region!
Another Absolutely Brilliant Video! Love the humor!!
The staring at your plan in random parts of the shop is so funny. I do this all the time I build new things that I’ve never built before and do my best to not go too quickly and make a mistake therefore over studying plans is a must 😂
Very good video, spacer blocks so simple to keep every thing square, so many simple thing that make a project so much more enjoyable to do when you Finnish and it looks great thank you 👍 from the Canadian Rocky Mountains
Thank you sir! I have just read through the comments section. You have given so much good info.
Soon I’ll be building my own kitchen cabinets and the amount of knowledge you have shared will be so helpful. Thank you thank you thank you. 👍
Glad enjoyed and happy to help! 👍🏻
Thanks for posting these videos. They have been extremely helpful. Just finished building mine. First one I have ever made.
First time watching and you made it very interesting. Personally i loved the little skits that went along with your work. You kept it interesting, good job.👍
If I had a shop setup like this, it’d probably be because I already build cabinets. I was looking for a video on how to build cabinets using the typical, methhead-stolen, pawnshop-bought tools found in your average, everyday, homeowner/non-cabinet-builder’s garage. But this ended being an entertaining and informative watch, and you’re a real peach of a dude. I’m still getting a nice idea of how these things go together, so I guess mission partially accomplished. Thanks, man!
One project I would love to see , is a tall corner cabinet with drawers, for use in a closet. Have been searching for months and still haven't found one.
You did a great job on face frame. Keep it up for us students. 😍
soon as I saw the intro , another you tuber wants to be a star
Nicely built, good instructions. very good video.

Great, I'm an absolute beginner and you have me thinking I can build our kitchen cabinets instead of paying someone who actually knows what they're doing. I have a feeling my kitchen is going to end up looking like some piece of modern art in a fancy museum. No straight lines or symmetry anywhere!
I have faith you can do it! I have plans available if you need a little extra help 👍🏻 link is in the description!
@@eastcarolinawoodworks I followed your shop on Etsy. When we're recovered from the countertop trauma we'll be using your plans for the cabinets. Thanks for the reply!
Not bad not bad at all. You know there’s another way to do that a little bit more. I’m not judging you did very great though. I still like it. I done this since I was a little kid. All I ever knew as a hobby. I picked up a lot of tricks from a lot of pros, I was an eighth grade when I started that was in junior high school no at this age everything is gotten a lot better. I keep up with the modern tools and know how to use them make the job easier more efficient and very high-tech.
I love your skits!!! Keep them up!!
Great video, and good job on the box. However, I do not recommend putting face frames together with pocket screws - particularly on wall cabinets. Having built custom cabinets and furniture for over 40 years I have seen pocket screw face frames fail after 5-10 years - again, mostly on wall cabinets. i have used dowels and floating tenons in the past, now I use dominos.
Great content and channel!! Putting cabinets in my enclosed trailer and came upon your videos, awesome work and informative for what I’m doing, thanks. East Carolina pirate here as well…..
Aaarrrrgggg…🏴☠️🏴☠️
Glad I could help! Thanks for the great feedback and go pirates! 👍🏻
Forgive my ignorance but with a floor cabinet why the 1/4 inch reveal on the sides? Wouldn’t that create a void of wasted space in between the cabinets?
I know it's been some time since you asked this question , but I would like to know if you have an answer to this? I wish he would've explained why in this video.
Prolly he is going to put panel on the sides or he is going to joint it with another cabinet
My guess is it leaves some room for the un- squareness of walls. The cabs (boxes)are square. Leaving some room for tweaking and lining up the face frames allows this to have space to compensate for unsquareness of walls both back and sides.
Happy to see quality videos with nice music and instructional voice overs. Seems your style is patterned after Bourbon Moth… Hard to replicate his goofy style. Perhaps dial back the copied phrases and actions. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻 being that he’s one of the biggest woodworking RUclipsrs going to be hard to add humor and woodworking together without being compared to him. I’m still new trying to find what works best. I’ll keep this in mind moving forward 😁
@@eastcarolinawoodworks
I’m just a sideliner who’s never tried what you’re doing with RUclips, so don’t take me too seriously as it’s gotta be tough. Appreciate your respectful responses to folks offering input. Keep plugging and chugging!
Keep doing what you do,I really like your channel.
👍🇻🇪🤝
This Intro literally had me lol’ng! Loving your channel!😂
Don’t try to be so funny……….Ha! Ha! Ha! Love your work
What is your minimum comfortable distance for hands to table saw blade before using a push stick or push block?
thanks man ,very easy to understand and i needed that got to chop some poplar now ,my boss will think im a jack of many things instead of a jack off
Thanks for the great feedback! 👍🏻
Darn. You have some high-speed tools. I'm jelly.
Also, am eying your vacuum system.
Why leave the 1/4" overhang on the outside of the carcass? If you butt against something (wall or another cabinet) won't there be a gap?
I have the same question.☺
The cabinets are screwed together through the face frame to sort of form one unit. It also makes it easier to install filler pieces (a board the same thickness as the face frame that goes between two cabinets or a wall and cabinet edge) when the cabinets don't fit perfectly (ex: 78 inch wall space with 2x 36inch cabinets = 72, a filler would be installed to make up for the 6 inches of empty space).
Another reason for the overhang is that walls are rarely in perfect square, so you can align the face frame and adjust the back, without the overhang, it would be much harder to square the cabinet fronts. Hope this helped.
I would definitely purchase cabinet plans!
I’ll be making a website soon! Stay tuned 👍🏻
Nice job, I would put the pocket holes for the face frame on the inside of the cabinet if you were not going to have other cabinets abutting this.
Yes I only put them on the outside if it’s going between cabinets 👍🏻
Awesome shop. Nice work.
Love the content, keep up the great work.
Thanks for the great feedback!
I am starting to build my kitchen cabinets and have never built any before. The series of how to build cabinets have helped a lot. I really like your channel and have subscribed. Maybe when I get done, I might email you a pic of the finished cabinets, maybe. Depending on if I would put my name on it or not. LOL Keep up the great content.
You can do it! Thanks for the positive feedback 👍🏻
You stated you like for the rails and stiles to be 1.5 inches. You also stated how you like to have the stiles overhang the cabinet frame on each side by 1/4 inch. So if your cabinet side is 3/4 inch and you overhang each side by 1/4 inch, that adds up to 1.25 inches, not 1.5 inches. What am I missing?
The face frame overhangs the outsides by 1/4 inch and over hangs the inside by 1/2 inch add this together and then 3/4” for the cabinet sides you get 1.5 inches 🤙🏼
I love the skits!!
Great job. Way to keep it interesting.
Really appreciate the fun and the education.
When it comes to installing cabinet door handles (either knobs or pulls), they are always placed on the opposite side from the door hinges. You'll specifically want to place them anywhere between 1'' and 4'' from the top or bottom edge of the door.
" they are always placed on the opposite side from the door hinges."
That's a given, if you want to be able to open the door.
Other than that, you can put them anywhere you want them.
If I place three carcasses together, how do I make face frames for them? Do I make it as a big one unit? or do I make a face frame for each carcass? If latter, face frame width between carcass gets too wide? So do I make narrow width face frame (stile) where two vertical carcasses are placed each other? I have search this extensively, but no answer. . . .
will continue to watch your vids----you have something to say and its is interesting thanx rick
Thanks Rick!
How do you do faceframe when putting 2 cabinets together. Like a sink cabinet attaced to a drawer cabinet
Do you use 3/4 plywood to fit between the sides for the toe kick? Great video, thanks!
I like this series 😂😂😂❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Why do face frames overhang on the sides? wont that get in the way when joining other cabinet carcasses together? Might be a stupid question here.
I came to ask the same thing
What kind of sander do you use? Do you use a compressor or electric sander?
Electric festool ets 125/3
Thank you. Very interesting.
back to the files for lasers, can you find some are and use inkscape and convert to use with a iaser?
Anyone else get nervous watching him use that table saw? 🤣
Yep.
Yah lol
It hurts to watch honestly.
Nope, he is a pro!
Haha yes
back to the files for lasers, can you find something , and use inkscape and convert to use with a iaser?
May I ask who set up your shop with all of the vacuum hoses into each machine and the bench layouts that accompany each piece of equipment? What type of vacuum do you use for the shop, I don't see the vacuum listed in your products list.
If the plywood isn’t exactly 3/4 and the face frames overhangs 1/4 on each side are you making the box width exact to a size that gives you 1/4 overhang?
So hey have watched a couple vids and enjoy them. People need to chill I think. You show a process and make it pretty easy to understand. Don't know who this bourbon moth guy is, never seen any of his stuff. If I do I suspect I'll think he's copying your style. 😉
Love the nice feedback thanks! 👍🏻
Went to my lumber yard ( no I don't buy wood at any of the Big Box Stores ) and wanted to get a bottle of glue. He didn't have anything but the small bottles. I asked him why and he told me that almost no one uses glue anymore. That's nuts!!! Face frame screws are good but the real strength of the joint comes from a good wood glue. The Kreg company said that the screws were a replacement for wood clamps and one needed glue for the best joint. Wow, I think that we all use the same glue brush - our index finger!!! Love spacer blocks, no problems!!! i too do a face frame the width that you use but I do it for a different reason. I have the face frame flush so I can use a piece of 3/4 plywood as a filler from the front to the back of the cabinet so I can use the drawer slides that I like.
Great instructions!! Thank u
Excellent !
If each cabinet has 1/4” over hang on the outside how do they fit together side by side?
Face frames line up and are attached via screws through the face frame 👍🏻
yep another great video
Health & Safety announcement use a goddamn PUSH STICK on the table saw...... Yah gonna want to keep those fingers !!
If you don't have pocket holes on a sides (e.g. the sides will be visible), how do you attach the face frame?
How can you have 1/4" overhang when your cabinet sides are 3/4" and the face frame is 1 1/2" in width? Are you using 3/8" overhang on both inside and outside, or 1/4" overhang on outside of cabinet and 3/4" on inside of cabinet?
1/4” overhang on the outside and 1/2” on the inside 👍🏻
*Nice Build!!! New Subscriber*
Noticed a change in miter saws from carcas video and frame video
Yea added the kapex and love it!
You should do a "behind the scenes" video on how you do your camera work. Or, would that give away your secrets?
Lol what exactly do you mean?
Swell instruction but perhaps a push stick using the table saw will help save some viewers fingers
Popular stains grade two takes color right out of the can
I’ve watched a lot of carcass build videos but so far none have showed how to attach the top and what material. I think plywood is not the best choice because of the edges showing along the sides (unless there is a way to do so, but have not seen a video). Also, on a very narrow, deep carcass (12” x 40”), how can you even get to the inside to attach the top since the back panel is already in place?
Sorry if these are questions that have simple answers but my mind is not a sharp as it once was.
3:11 - you do 1.5” face frames but how many inches do you normally rip your thumbs down to? 😱😱
Do you sand the edges of your styles and rails or run them through the jointer after cutting to width? I always have circular and/or burn marks on edges of material after running through the table saw.
Normally I sand them 👍🏻
Sounds like you have a dull blade, or maybe it is out of square, with the table.
#53 subscriber. Just remember this when you’re up to hundreds of thousands. Lol.
Thanks for the sub and hopefully one day!
Nice construction but did Bourbon Moth sign off on you copying his schtick?
For making sure the edge is square, if you buy s4s, shouldn't that already be taken care of?
Those "safety glasses" are protecting your ball cap nicely.
Great!
So, if you were making a 24” wide cabinet, your face frames would be 24”, and the carcass would be 23.5”, correct?
That is correct! 👍🏻
How deep are your pocket holes and what size pocket screw do you use when constructing cabinets and face frames.
Depth for pocket holes is determined by material thickness. The kreg pocket hole jigs have a guide on it. I use 1 1/4 pocket hole screws for all my joinery with 3/4 material 👍🏻
How thick is the space frame ?
What would you do differently with the screws and the pocket holes if this cabinet has an exposed end? You wouldn't want to see all that.
Move the pocket holes to the inside of the cabinet. Most customers won’t even care or pay attention to the pocket holes. Really depends on the customer what I would do 👍🏻
and yes---i am a subscriber thanx rick
Is there a reason you don't let the face frames out 1/4" on each side?
That’s exactly what I do. I let my face frame overhang my box by 1/4” on both sides 👍🏻
Just curious....how do you build the cabinet? There arent any dados for the ends to go into
Well never mind...😂
How do you keep the face frame from splitting when screwing it together? I’m 1 for 4 attempts 🤦🏻♀️
Was your assembly table inspired by Shop Nation by chance? Looks good!
Yessir it was I just never really finished. I’m getting ready to make a new one with a video coming out soon. I love the one from shop nation just a few things I want to tweek 🤫
Thank you for the share, very much appreciated. My wife and I are building a Skoolie bus and this absolutely will be how I build the kitchen and even bedroom closet and dressers.
Super clear and easy instructions A+ thanks again!
Thanks for the positive feedback 👍🏻
why do you leave a 1/4" over hang on the side faceplates? new to building them this way and I have not seen an actual expalination for the over hang. Thanks
For 1.5’’ face frames you typically leave 1/2" overhang to the inside which leaves you 1/4" overhang on the outside of a 3/4" thick cabinet. Plus the 1/4" can be used for scribing 👍🏼
@@eastcarolinawoodworks cool thank you for the info. have a good day
I am building cabinets for a miter saw station very similar to the cabinet in this video. I will have a bank of 3 cabinets, then the miter saw platform with an open bottom, then two more cabinets to the right of the saw. Would you suggest building one large face frame for the bank of three and another for the bank of two or would you face frame each cabinet individually?
I would build one face frame! All I did was build the boxes and edge banded with 1/4 poplar 👍🏻
Great job. Love your equipment. What type/brand/model hinges are you using for this project? Thanks.
I really like Blum but the price is too high right now so I use hinges from Amazon called Ravinte 👍🏻
For beginner is there some place to find drawing plans for cabinets? Pocket hole preferably. I don’t have a good setup for dado stuff
I have plans available 🤙🏼
@@eastcarolinawoodworks awesome lmk how I can get em
@@jameshamilton7997 eastcarolinawoodwrks.etsy.com/listing/1438969371 I have other listings as well 👍🏻
@@eastcarolinawoodworks hey that’s awesome man ! I will be buying this and doing some more shopping
Why do you do a 1/4" overhang with the face frames?
For scribing if needed or any inconsistencies in the cabinet box. It’s pretty standard 👍🏻
@@eastcarolinawoodworks thank you, what do you cover your toe kicks with usually? I’m getting into cabinet making and trying to soak everything up.
@@jaysonowen6014 after all my cabinets are set I go back and add a 1/4” painted toe kick that matches the cabinets 👌🏻
cool video, Will you be doing any plans along with these cabinets ? i plan on building some in the future.
Was not planning on doing plans for these in particular but I can do plans for these if interested!
I live in eastern NC also. Where do you buy your wood from? The only places near me are the big box stores that sell construction grade wood,
Material comes from Wurth in Raleigh NC 👍🏻
Love the vids man! Thank you! Do you joint the ripped side of the stiles and rails? Or do you sand off the saw kerf?
Usually I’m able to just sand off the saw kerf if there’s any! 👍🏻
@@eastcarolinawoodworks Thanks! I have built only a few cabinets back in the day the wrong way. lol appreciate the tips!
